Dear GYA, Here at the Hogle Zoo we have lots of interesting animals to enjoy -- none of which have two heads. Yes, we are aware that the San Antonio Zoo has a two-headed turtle named Thelma and Louise and that's great; good for them. But for the love of god, stop calling here and asking if we'll be carrying any two-headed River Cooters.--- Anything happening today to distract these idiots from two-headed turtles? - Rachel Tharchery, Hogle Zoo, Turtle Specialist
